How My Shamanic Journey Taught Me to Trust Life’s Detours and Divine Timing

How My Shamanic Journey Taught Me to Trust Life’s Detours and Divine Timing

Hey everyone! This week, I’m sharing a personal story that’s been on my heart for a while now—a story about divine redirection. What started as a simple road trip to visit my daughter and grandson turned into a full-on adventure of detours, snowstorms, and unexpected beauty.

From a hawk hitting my car (yes, really!) to getting rerouted through places filled with old memories, this journey taught me some powerful lessons about trusting the process, having patience, and embracing life’s interruptions as opportunities for growth.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated or stuck when things don’t go as planned, I hope this episode reminds you that those “bumps in the road” are just detours leading you somewhere even better.

Inside This Episode:

• The story of my snowy, 12-hour journey home and all the unexpected detours.
• The powerful symbolism of being hit by a hawk and what it meant for me.
• Why life’s interruptions are often divine redirections—and how to trust them.
• How reflecting on past experiences helps you identify patterns and set intentions for growth.
• Practical tips to pause, let go, and allow the new opportunities waiting for you to come in.

Every detour, challenge, or unexpected bump in the road is a chance to grow, realign, and uplevel. Even when it’s messy or uncomfortable, trust that you’re being guided in the right direction.
